ENUM BRCMF_NLATTRS(9)
π enum brcmf_nlattrs(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ this one's a kernel-doc page for real β it's all about an enum called brcmf_nlattrs, which is literally just the list of nl80211 message attributes π it's short, it's sweet, and honestly? iconic π
let's get into it.
β¨ NAME β¨
enum brcmf_nlattrs β nl80211 message attributes π¦
no cap, that's the whole name section. it's giving "the title card of the movie."
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
here's the whole enum, verbatim, don't touch it, it's perfect:
enum brcmf_nlattrs {
BRCMF_NLATTR_UNSPEC ,
BRCMF_NLATTR_LEN ,
BRCMF_NLATTR_DATA ,
__BRCMF_NLATTR_AFTER_LAST ,
BRCMF_NLATTR_MAX
};
that's it. that's the synopsis. she's lowkey minimal and highkey ate π
π Constants π
okay so this is where the actual tea is β each constant gets its lil description, and ngl some of them are straight-up marked -- undescribed -- in the original docs, which is the kernel-doc equivalent of "no thoughts head empty" π i'm not gonna lie to you and invent lore that isn't there, so those stay undescribed. periodt.
BRCMF_NLATTR_UNSPECβ-- undescribed --π the source docs literally offer zero details on this one, bestie. we respect the mystery.BRCMF_NLATTR_LENβ message body length π it tells you how long the message body is. slay.BRCMF_NLATTR_DATAβ message body π the actual body of the message. main character energy.__BRCMF_NLATTR_AFTER_LASTβ-- undescribed --π again, no description in the source. the double underscore is giving "internal, don't @ me."BRCMF_NLATTR_MAXβ-- undescribed --π the max one. also undescribed. also iconic for it.
quick vibe check: onlyBRCMF_NLATTR_LENandBRCMF_NLATTR_DATAactually have descriptions in this manual page βBRCMF_NLATTR_UNSPEC,__BRCMF_NLATTR_AFTER_LAST, andBRCMF_NLATTR_MAXare all listed as-- undescribed --. i'm not adding claims that aren't there, fr fr. π«Ά
